The Burleson market specifically

Burleson sits across the Tarrant-Johnson county line, which means its Area Agency on Aging coverage runs through NCTCOG rather than the Tarrant County agency that covers the rest of this metro -- a detail worth knowing before calling for local help.

Burleson families should confirm which Area Agency on Aging applies before calling for help -- it is NCTCOG, not the Tarrant County agency, even though Burleson borders south Fort Worth directly.

What the contract does that the tour does not

The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.

You can check any facility's record free. Call HHSC's Complaint and Incident Intake line at 1-800-458-9858 for any Texas facility's complaint and inspection history. Assisted living is not CMS star-rated -- only nursing homes are. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

Can I report a concern anonymously in Texas?

Yes. Texas Adult Protective Services accepts anonymous reports through the statewide hotline at 1-800-252-5400 or online at the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services' reporting portal.

What happens after I report suspected abuse to APS?

An APS caseworker reviews the report and, for situations that meet the threshold for investigation, typically responds within a set timeframe based on the severity described, ranging from immediate response for emergencies to several days for lower-risk reports.

My parent is being discharged from a Fort Worth hospital in 72 hours. What do I do first?

Get the discharge plan in writing from the hospital's case manager or social worker, confirm whether your parent was formally admitted as an inpatient or held under observation status, and ask specifically which senior care facilities have already said yes to the referral -- not just which ones the hospital contacted.

What's the difference between inpatient admission and observation status for Medicare purposes?

Medicare's skilled nursing facility benefit requires a qualifying inpatient hospital admission. Time spent under 'observation status' does not count toward that requirement, even if your parent physically stayed overnight in a hospital bed for multiple nights.
